Alex wants his hair to be just like his best friend Arie's. Arie promises to teach him the secret trick for turning black hair to red… but what kind of a trick is it?

Seeing Red is based on a boy named Arie, who Robert Munsch met in Montreal in 2005. Munsch was there to visit the United Talmud Torah Elementary School to tell stories in their new library. The old library had been destroyed in a firebombing, and it had just been rebuilt. Munsch stayed with Arie's family when he visited. Arie's red hair inspired the story — he was the only red-haired boy in the whole school!
